Abstract

Background: Radiographic absorptiometry (RA) is one of the earliest methods of bone densitometry and has been used to measure the phalanges and metacarpals where soft tissue attenuation is minimal. The aim of this study was to determine whether the technique can be adapted to correct for soft tissue attenuation and measure areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in the forearm.
